About Me

educators4art.blogspot.com exists to provide educational resources for art and media teachers working in a Canadian, specifically Quebec, High School. The site offers a number of sample, completed, lesson plans, as well as, some inspiration lesson plan ideas or thought provoking activities. The site also has a number of post categories, like "Real Life Art" which critically explores how art influences our everyday life. There is also the "spotlight" section that features a website, resource or educational tool and aside from the lesson plans, the site also offers some ideas for projects that use and integrate technology. As a side note, each of the lesson plans and posts has a comments section where I encourage educators to voice their opinions on the lessons or any comments on how well they were implemented (or not) in the classroom. Of course, any rude or hateful comments will be deleted.

Illustration Project: The Bad Beginning


Project Details:
Choose an interesting episode in a well-known novel and select a quotation from the novel to interprete. Use this quotation to develop a personal image, illustration, or multi-media work using various forms of technology, including: computers, scanners, paint software, collage, Photoshop...etc. 
Objectives:
  • Incorporate media images and technology into an artistic creation
  • Construct meaning around literary ideas and episodes within a greater text
  • Familiarize students with available software and technology in the creative process 

Example: 
“The Play is called the Marvelous Marriage and is written by the great playwright, Al Funcoot. We will give only one performance, this Friday night. It is about a man who is brave and intelligent, who is played by me. In the finale he marries a young beautiful woman he loves, in front of a crowd of cheering people.”
— Count Olaf, THE BAD BEGINNING
